Socket preservation at Unident Clinic in Tirana, Albania, is a specialized procedure used to maintain bone structure after a tooth extraction. This treatment is led by Dr. Igli Mëcuku, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who has focused his research on bone grafting membranes. The clinic serves over 3,000 patients every year and follows strict sterilization and hygiene protocols to help with recovery.
The clinic uses the Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) technique to prevent bone loss in the jaw. This method involves placing bone graft materials into the empty tooth socket immediately after extraction. These materials may include your own natural bone or high-quality synthetic options. A special protective membrane is then placed over the graft. This membrane blocks soft tissue from growing into the socket, allowing bone-forming cells to rebuild the area for a future dental implant.
Dr. Igli Mëcuku is an expert in oral and maxillofacial surgery with a specific focus on implantology. He has conducted advanced research on reinforced membranes for bone defects, which is vital for successful socket preservation. Dr. Mëcuku handles the entire process, from the extraction to the placement of the graft. His background in bone research helps him choose the most effective materials for each patient's specific jaw structure.
Unident Clinic provides different options to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Most patients receive local anesthesia to numb the area completely. For those who feel nervous about dental surgery, the clinic also offers conscious sedation. This helps you stay relaxed and anxiety-free during the treatment. The process typically takes place in a single visit following a tooth extraction.
